Definitions

  • This invention relates to static structures and especially to a structure mounted for in situ repositioning.
  • the structure of this invention concerns a building having floor units that are rotatable about a vertical axis.
  • Background information The ability of an apartment to command a desirable view is a recognizable factor in determining the salability and economic value of the apartment.
  • most buildings have only a limited -number ' of apartments with highly desirable exposures.
  • a solution to this problem is to provide a changeable environment by in situ repositioning of the building.
  • repositionable building structures were designed with an outer casing rotatably mounted on a spindle; the structures were used principally for observation towers, amusement devices, and/or restaurants for providing patrons with changeable views and not for apartment, , hotel and similar dwellings; examples of such structures are shown in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,905,166, 6,742,308, and 841,468.
  • a limitation of these structures is that they are not intended primarily for use as multi-story apartment buildings or hotels or for providing selective 360° viewing capability. Another shortcoming is that lack of floor independence decreases load stability.
  • the nature of this invention involves a building structure having a vertically disposed central core with plural horizontal floor units suspended from and surrounding the core at incremental heights for transferring balanced vertical loading through the core.
  • An annular platform extending horizontally from the core, in correspondence with the floor units, provides a corridor for accessing the central core.
  • the floor units are independently displaceable about the core, for example, by motor-power actuation, wind-power, hydraulic power, electro-magnetic energy, or other drive force.
  • the present invention overcomes the limitations of the prior art and provides an improved rotatable building structure. Having thus summarized the invention, it will be seen that it is an object thereof to provide a rotatable building structure of the general character described herein which is not subject to any of the aforementioned limitations. Another object of this invention is to provide a rotatable building structure suitable for high-rise or low-rise buildings . A further object of this invention is to provide a rotatable building structure with independently rotatable suspended floor units that provide improved seismic stability.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a rotatable building structure having single or multiple vertical cores for supporting the floor units.
  • Yet still another object of this invention is to provide a rotatable building structure with aerodynamically designed floor units that can be repositioned to reduce wind load, as in a hurricane.
  • Yet still another object of this invention is to provide a rotatable building structure that generate energy through the wind pressure on the building's facades by transforming the wind load in electrical power.
  • Yet still another object of this invention is to provide a rotatable building structure that generate energy through the wind pressure on horizontal wind turbines structure that is separate from the floors themselves and rotate according to the wind pressure transforming the wind load in electrical power, providing alternative wind power assist for rotating the floor units and/or for the consumption of the builidng itself or of another building.
  • Yet still another object of this invention is to provide a rotatable building structure that generate energy through solar panels situated on top of each floor as this type of building has a number of roofs, equal to the number of floors, where solar panels can be installed, generating electrical power.
  • a structure of lighting movable elements arranged at the exterior of multi-floor buildings is also disclosed.
  • the invention refers to lighting movable elements radially arranged around a building axis and between the building floors or situated on the floor themselves with a self rotating system, in which the elements have mechanisms to rotate around the building axis and to move towards the building and back.
  • the aim of the movements of the lighting elements, controlled and coordinated by an electronic processor unit is to make the building to appear as moving and changing in shape according to their position and their speed.
  • the aesthetic view of a building depends on the natural light, which emphasize the shape, the details and the materials of the building, while on night-time, it depends only on the artificial lighting of which the building is provided.
  • the artificial lighting of buildings is generally given either by projecting a light from the exterior, or by the lighting system of the building itself. Therefore, in absence of an external lighting system, only the lights of the building, which emit light without illuminating the building surface, make the building visible form the outside night-time.

  • a flexible pipe 83 coming out 82 from the exterior side of the main core 75, is attached to the connection fitting on the rotatable floor 76. When the flexible pipe get completely stretched due to the movement of the rotatable floor the pipe 83 gets disconnected and automatically connected to the other rotating fitting creating a new connection for the flow of the liquids (or semi solid material) .
  • the exterior end of the pipe is motorized and inserted in a rail to facilitate its fast movement from one connection point 76 to the other one. Having two sets of such flexible pipe on each floor, will "cover" the short time between disattachment and attachment of the single flexible pipe guaranteeing continuous flow and water pressure in each single floor.

  • the vane 48 can be remotely and/or directly actuated for deployment to an operational mode from a retracted mode housed within the floor unit 12a.

  • the wind tool 46 can alternatively be used for electrical power generation, for example, for recharging a backup battery system or going to the electric greed. It is also within the scope of this invention to use the wind load on the exterior side of each single floor as power that will create energy to ' be used for the electric consumption of the building itself.
  • the rotation of each single floor will be determined by the tenant or the building management and will be achieved through the building electric power system, however when the wind blow and tend to rotate each single floor in the building, the monitored rotation of the floor (stopping or slowing down such wind force) creates resistance to the natural force of the wind load and therefore create energy that will be transformed to electrical energy to be used as part of the building consumption.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une structure de bâtiment rotative, qui comprend une ossature centrale verticale servant de support à des planchers suspendus entourant l'ossature. Une plate-forme annnulaire s'étend de l'ossature, au niveau de planchers correspondants, pour assurer l'accessibilité à ou depuis l'ossature centrale. Les planchers comprennent un mécanisme d'entraînement assurant un déplacement par rotation. La charge exercée par le vent sur le côté extérieur de chaque plancher, et/ou des aéromoteurs horizontaux tournant autour de l'ossature mais constituant des éléments distincts du plancher lui-même, des panneaux solaires utilisés comme toiture au sommet de chaque plancher, et un outil exploitant le vent et déployable depuis le plancher constituent une énergie éolienne de substitution contribuant à la rotation des planchers.
